Recipe: Basic Quinoa Flake Granola

Happy Monday, loves! Oh do I have the perfect recipe to start your week right or what!

I've been on a bit of a granola kick lately. After my Cocoa Banana Granola Recipe, I've been playing around with different grains, seeds, nuts, sweeteners, binders, flavours - you name it, I've tried it. With all of my experimenting, I've found one clear winner - Crunchy, clustery granola with quinoa flakes. With 4 bags of quinoa flakes in my cupboards (obsessed? yes) it's only human that i'd be looking for recipes using quinoa flakes, right? Not only are quinoa flakes gluten free, they're also high in protein and are low GI.

When it comes to granola, my favourite part are the clusters. Big, chunky, crunchy clusters are always what I go for when pouring a bowl of granola. I even strategically pour granola into my bowls so that I make sure I evenly distribute the clusters (major weirdo alert). Add raisins or chewy dried fruit and it only gets better!

It may seem odd to use egg whites in this granola, but I promise you - they're the key to crispy, crunchy, cluster filled granola! As an egg hater, you can be assured that you can't taste a thing!

Hi Liesl,I'm not sure to be honest - I know you can make granola with regular uncooked granola and other grains, however I've never done it myself and not with this recipe so I don't know how it would come out.
